[At least they managed to get out without being trampled, and now that the initial rush has passed through, it's a bit quieter, if still busy.]
Right, down this way I think.
[That's at least where all the signs were pointing. At least it's straightforward with just a flight of stairs and a crowded lift to the base level, but when the doors are open they will find themselves right in the middle of what looks like a large, indoor shopping center of sorts, with clothing boutiques, sports gear shops, and other stores for visitors to go through.
As they step out, there will be mean clerks and staff (mostly of the bear variety) ushering those who had dressed for the hotter volcanic clime to various different clothing stores, insisting they must dress for the colder temperatures outside. They even offer rentals for those who can't pay full price, and Cid and Benedikta are no exception as they get grouped up with others to go towards a set of shops.
Cid at least has an easy time of it, quickly finding a suitable change of clothes. He's adjusting the thicker gloves and his sleeves as he waits outside a shop for Benedikta to finish.]
